Schedules > Waiting List

What is the waiting list?

A waiting list is the order in which patients waiting for an appointment are prioritized. For example, if the clinic is overwhelmed and only has availability in a few months, the clinic may put you on the waiting list. If there is a cancellation, the clinic will be able to replace the appointment with that of a patient on the waiting list.

You will find the following options:

• Availability: Select this filter to display the list of patients available during a certain period of time.
• Priorities: Display requests by priority.
• Requests types: Display requests by type. These requests are configured in My Clinic > Tags.
• Services: Display requests by requested services.
• Employees: Display requests by employees.
• Find a patient: Enter the name of a patient to search.
• Filter: Click on this button when you have checked certain filters.
• Active Requests: Displays all requests in progress.
• Completed requests: Displays all completed requests from the waiting list (when you have set an appointment from the waiting list on a therapist's schedule).
• Expired requests: Displays expired requests (Requests that could not be placed on a therapist's schedule).
• + : Create a new waiting list request.
